[quote user="Canaries Utd"]obviously some teams below us have even more? What are peoples thoughts on how many points we will achieve and what is a realistic automatic promotion points total?[/quote] Why are we writing off the 57th point to play for?

Yeah, went there after the Bristol Rovers match and regretted it. Had to endure them singing their rubbish song for another couple of hours. I suppose it depends on what time the train to Tranmere leaves.

It''s directly after the Tranmere match on Saturday that I''m looking to find somewhere, so it''s kind of relevant. Does it really matter in any case? I''ve seen lot''s of threads on here about where to go before/after the game.

Was hoping for somewhere walkable within 15-20 mins. Cheers for the suggestion though, may check it out one day when driving.

I''m relatively new to the City and looking for a good place to watch the match after THE match on Saturday? Somewhere with a good atmosphere but not too rammed would be ideal. I may also want to get settled in for the Rugby League and/or ROI v France match, so somewhere that serves good food would be a bonus.

[quote user="TIL 1010"]"But we are in a much better position than many clubs".Well let us all just shut up and be thankful for what we have then.[/quote] I''m certainly not happy with what we have at the moment and I''m not telling anyone to shut up either. I personally think that we bottomed out under the Grant regime and that things will pick up, but only with additional investment to give us the funds to compete with the growing list of parachute payment clubs. 

Along with prudence this is probably the most popular word on this message board. It creates a lot of arguments, so I thought why not start another one? Here are my views on the matter: Since the latest accounts were published it has become clear that Norwich are always going to struggle to be profitable without significant ongoing investment. I believe that fresh investment from outside of the current Board is essential for our long term survival. At the same time I do believe that the current Board have done a decent job up until now. Admittedly we are not doing as well as our potential on the pitch and the accounts aren''t in great shape, but we are in a much better position than many clubs. It has been argued that we could have been more ambitious in our Premieship season and that everything would have been different. I for one am a bit of a gambler and would have liked to have seen us take a gamble, but it is not necessarily good business sense to do this. It could have worked and we could have become a regular fixture in the Premiership, but equally we may have still failed and ended up facing potential administration (like too numerous clubs to mention have since then). Had we have stayed in the Premiership, what then? Do we keep trying to raise our level of ambition and end up in a position such as Pompey (reportedly £60 million in debt) or maybe become a yoyo club like West Brom? I''m not sure myself. At the end of the day we are where we are and the level of ambition we are showing is what I''d expect - trying to bring in as many decent players as is possible with a small budget and not risking any further financial problems. Until we receive fresh investment this is unfortunatley all we can do.

[quote user="corbs"]101, your post is just sensible and honest in my view, but really Boards like this just don''t matter, as they tend to be dominated by vociferous minorities of often dis-gruntled odd balls, whose ''opinions'' mostly reflect their own failings (e.g lack of ambition) projected on to other people.It is no coincidence that the interesting posts nearly always come from the ''occasional'' poster, whereas alot of the more regular posters (not all) cannot resist reverting to name calling (happy-clappers etc), and self-righteous guff, interspersed with inane ''ha ha ha'' or ''lol'' etc etc. What does ''lol'' mean anyway? Most of us who actually go to games have a good time, and don''t mind admitting that our judgements are often flawed. Am I bothered?  [/quote] I agree with a lot of this. What really nags me as well is that as soon as a relatively new poster pops up with an opinion they are immdeiately subjected to a barrage of responses saying how deluded they are and to effectively shut up because they haven''t been posting much on this bord.

[quote user="jas the barclay king"][quote user="The Saturday Boy"][quote user="jas the barclay king"] Litas Record on Soccerbase http://www.soccerbase.com/players_details.sd?playerid=32646 He''s been featuring this season too. jas :)   [/quote] Last season''s stats say he played in every month of last season. So when was this ''recent'' broken leg? [/quote] 2006.. which ha been mentioned already on this thread... but dont let this stop you avoding the facts.. go and ask over on the Reading message boards if you dont beleive me.... jas :) [/quote] 2006 isn''t that recent, especially as he played 8 games for Charlton last season after he recovered (scoring 3 goals in the process). Just out of curiosity Jas, would you take Eduardo on a month''s loan when he''s recovered? Also - Bobby Zamora''s hardly a realistic loan signing, based on the fact he starts every game for Fulham and they only just bought him for c.£4m (£6.3m combined fee with Paintsill).

[quote user="jas the barclay king"][quote user="Badger Pie"][quote user="jas the barclay king"] [quote user="Badger Pie"]Lots of different opinions of whether this is a good or bad signing, but at the end of the day what possible harm could it do?

Surely we must have had the chance to sign him if little old Barnsley have. I''m assuming it was a choice of 2 out of Rigters, Komora & Lupoli. Are people happy with Glenn''s choice if that is the case?

[quote user="C.T "][quote user="kirku"] [quote user="C.T "]Paul McVeigh Matt L-Jean Kevin Harper (loan during promo season) [/quote] ridiculous. mcveigh wasn''t anywhere near that bad. louis-jean, however, was awful. so was andy hughes. de waard was also a terrible excuse for a footballer [/quote] Its my opinion mate, like it or lump it![:p] [/quote] I''m guessing you first saw McVeigh in the season when he was top scorer and then subsequently went down hill, otherwise you would have realised that he had at least 3 decent seasons with us. I may be wrong! He also happens to be a legend. We love you Paul McVeight, la la la la la.......

[quote user="Tony Harrison"]Do you remember how hard it rained after Newcastle Friendly? I actually tried to swim in the rainwater. Didn''t work.[/quote] Was laughing about that the other day. Never seen a game abandoned due to the amount of rain (as opposed to waterlogged pitch). I was in the top tier of the Barclay that night and getting soaked.

This is my favourite: "bad team but what about bertarand and No to these to i dont know kevin what ever so and cole plays for forrest Andy Cole, Kevin Macdonald, and beckford is a donkey miss to many like curatojn sibierski and amiobi and what about Elliot Omozusi stankavic and   Chris Makiese part from them changes and ched back and a second keeper would be a ggood side lol"

Even funnier than the imaginatively named ''chris''. Check out some of his posts; they''re hilarious.

[quote user="chris"]arsenal didnt rate him derby he had 7 goals the 34 games not great had 6 clubs by rthe age of 21 and not made a single apperance for fiorentina.[/quote] Are you familiar with the ''preview'' button Chris. It would save a lot of embarrassment!

[quote user="Canaries in Bed"]The young tax dodgers probaly get 12 quid  a week, he gets 12000k or something stupid. But we all have to pay for it, even tax dodgers. Saying that, scrap the fee. Waste of money.[/quote] 12000k - blimey! That''s like £12 million a week. I think that solves the ''where has all the money gone'' debate.

[quote user="Glenn Roeder"]I can confirm that our bid to take Artou Lupoli is looking more and more evident each day. As reported we are close on signing the Italian youngster for a season long loan. Things are looking good at his moment of time; He has come over to discuss terms with us and I have explained myself in what I want him to acheive with us here, and he is happy with it. Its now down to him weather he joins or not.[/quote] If you get kicks out of pretending to be Roeder, could you at least try and be interesting or funny.

[quote user="jas the barclay king"] [quote user="Boba Fett"]Wenger doesnt do bad signings! [/quote] Gilles Grimandi, Luis Boa Morte, some Arsenal fans might even throw Anelka into that category too.... jas :) [/quote] I personally wouldn''t see £21.8 million pounds profit as a bad signing......

I think this post sums up what''s wrong with the youth of today.

It''s been said before, but I''ll say it again, why not find out more facts before reacting to the situation. For all you know, Cullum''s offer might have been based on securing a guaranteed start as JC''s strike partner. In real life do you like to react so quickly without all the information?

[quote user="Klobo7"]My best away day will be the day I finally see us win away from home No luck in 9 attempts so far and only a draw at Leicester to celebrate! [/quote] I''m still yet to see Norwich win after 14 away day trips. It''s more a case of which is the least painful, which would probably be the 0-0 draw at Spurs in the Premiership season. If only Huckerby had managed to get the ball before Ledley King we''d have stayed up............maybe!
